The word Amen appears 22 times in the old testament and 50 times in the new testament however, there is no scriptures telling of its origin. In the Hebrew translation, it means: "God of Amen". In your opinion, where did this word originate and what is its true meaning.

In Isa. 65:16, the King James Bible has "the God of truth," which in Hebrew is "the God of Amen."

It's egyptian, thats where the hebrew religion came from.
The Egyptians were of a monolatry religion meaning they worshiped ONE God in many forms.
Actually Almost all of the Hebrew religious practices came from the Egyptian religion.

It literally means "true", or "so let it be".
It means that you agree strongly with what the speaker just said.
It is an old Hebrew word.
-----------------------------
The word Amen is a declaration of affirmation found in the Hebrew Bible, the New Testament, and in the Qur'an. It has always been in use within Judaism and Islam. It has been generally adopted in Christian worship as a concluding formula for prayers and hymns. In Islam, it is the standard ending to Dua (Supplication). Common English translations of the word amen include: "Verily", "Truly", "So be it", and "Let it be". Colloquially, it can also mean "I agree," or "Well said."...
